Providing Search with SearchView (Android Development Patterns Ep 7)

SearchView is the standard interface for providing in app search for your Android app. SearchView is available via AppCompat and available back to Android 2.1. You’ll be able to use a searchable configuration (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/searchable-config.html) to extend your SearchView, easily adding features like voice search.

Consider storing your search data on a Full Text Search or FTS table: http://developer.android.com/training/search/search.html

Check out our training at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/index.html and add to your SearchView with recent query suggestions (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/adding-recent-query-suggestions.html) and custom query suggestions (
